Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Sat Feb 10, 11:06 AM ET LONDON (AFP) - Sue Rogers will never be without her dead dogs and cat after having a diamond ring made from their ashes. Rogers, from Devon paid 3,200 pounds for the ring made from carbon extracted from the ashes of Lucky, an old English sheepdog, a golden retriever cross called Sam and a tom cat, Patch, a newspaper said Saturday. " I am delighted with my ring as it means I can have my pets with me at all times, " Rogers told the Daily Mail newspaper. " My animals meant the world to me and even though they are gone they are still with me. It's a beautiful ring and such a brilliant idea. " Rogers, 44, had previously kept the ashes of her pets on her mantelpiece until she learnt of LifeGem UK, which makes diamonds from the remains of humans and pets. A small amount of carbon from each set of ashes was heated at temperatures of 3,000 degrees Celsius to help make a rough diamond. The stone was then polished and certified before being set in a gold band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
